I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

Try [ftp]http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/index.html[/ftp] Its where I got my Digi camera from, prices seem really good although there is an 'agreement' charge to be added (basically the company's own warranty of sorts) The three cameras above that you have picked all look ideal - my personal preference would be the Sony (though thats only because I like Sony stuff) Remember that ideally you'll want a decent sized memory card - especially if you don't have anything to download the pictures to when you're away (i've got a 128mb card and it holds roughly 100 pictures on the cameras middle settings for size and quality) My Camera is a Pentax S4i which I chose primarily because of its small size. Generally I think even 3.2 megapixel cameras are adequate for the average snapper - the rest of the camera (lense etc) Has to be of suitably high quality to justify the higher MP rated cameras - which often they don't. Also the final product - an actual picture, is largely dependant on your printer. I reckon even with a a dedicated digi picture printer you'd be hard pushed to see the difference between pictures from a 5MP camera and a 3.2MP one

I've got a Nikon 5700. Marvelous but £380. I also have a spare battery charged at all times and several large memory cards. It is used commercially so I can justify the price.
For normal prints of holidays etc., Asda do a great service. I just got 120 prints done (6x4) for £13. Printed in one hour no less! Well done Asda.

I've got the Pentax Optio S4, 4 megapixel, 3x optical and 3x digital zoom and it's tiny. The quality of the pics is brilliant and the camera is the size of a pack of playing cards, like a spy-camera! ;D I think they are around £200 or less now. Highly recommended. Important thing to look for with digicams is not so much the gadgets or pixel rating but more the lens quality. 'Proper' camera manufacturers like Cannon, Olympus etc tend to make very good quality lenses, Carl Zeiss in the higher end Sony ones are good too.
